Practice Development Groups for teachers and trainers in the Further Education and Training Sector

Notice Description

This tender seeks to establish several Practice Development Groups (PDGs) in nine regions across England. It is a new ETF programme designed to promote practitioner-led, collaborative professional development across the Further Education and Training sector.

Each successful tenderer would be expected to run two rounds of PDG's per academic year (October- January and January - April).
